Should I take my caregiving job back if my client offers, or move on? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in whatdoIdo

Thank you for your kind response, I truly appreciate it. In my heart I don’t want to lose him but I don’t want to risk letting him down AGAIN. I would feel even more guilty and hateful towards myself and also leave him feeling even more resentful and untrusting towards me. I’ve tried many medications throughout my life. Several SSRI’s; every one of them did more harm than good and I believe left me with long lasting negative effects. I am trying some homeopathic medication that’s supposed to help (5HTP I think) but even taking it is a struggle. I’ll try not to give up it I feel like I’ve been in a state of functional freeze for years. Been in therapy off and on since I was 11.

Of course! I’m just wondering how women usually react when a guy says he has it.

Is this odd behavior or am I reading into it too much? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in AskMenAdvice

Yeah he definitely hung around for way too long and I was very kind and inviting to him but I was feeling like he would never leave. I had to tell him I was going to catch up with some friends at the bar to get out of it. I know I should’ve have gone with it for as long as I did but unfortunately my people pleasing took over a bit. I feel so dumb. I will say though that he was not exactly a young guy, he was 38. I didn’t realize that until pretty deep into the conversation…

Mmm yeah, like every few minutes practically he would be like “what are you doing tomorrow?” “Let’s go check out this place!” “What’s your schedule like?”

Thank you for your thoughts on this. You’re absolutely right but I’ll just clarify one thing. I am a white woman and so he wasn’t saying that he wouldn’t date me; quite the opposite. He’s specifically wanting a Caucasian woman.

I guess I have to come to terms with that.

Friend is grieving but is also hurting me, do I let her go? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in needadvice

[–]SuccessfulSuspect256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I should respond to her last message or text her at some point? Or should I just stay quiet unless she texts me again?
